Full Cookie Sheet Rice Crispy Treats Recipe

Lately I’ve been scouring the internet trying to find a Rice Crispy Treats recipe that would be large enough for a project that I was working on, and I wasn’t happy with any of them. I wanted the recipe to fill an entire cookie sheet and for them to be as thick as the pan. I played around with the ratio’s of ingredients and this is what I decided would work best to suit my needs, so I’m sharing it with all of you in case you need it too.

Of course it doesn’t hurt that this recipe is big enough for any time that you may need to make Rice Crispy treats for an event, bake sale, or just a large gathering. Guess what? This is the first ever recipe card on my site! I’m super excited to provide you all with this new feature and hope that I didn’t install it too poorly. Anyway, on to the recipe:

**Before you begin, prepare a cookie sheet by greasing it with butter or adding non-stick foil to the bottom.**

In a large pot, on medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir occasionally until they have melted. Remove from heat. *If desired you can add 1 T of vanilla or other extract and/or any food coloring at this point, mix well. Then add the Rice Crispy Cereal. Mix until well coated. Press into previously prepared cookie sheet and let cool at room temperature. DO NOT REFRIGERATE TO SPEED COOLING! Also, it works great to spread them out by laying a sheet of parchment paper over them (once you've scooped them into the pan) and flattening them out by rubbing your hands across the paper. Let set and then cut and serve.

*Make sure to read all of the instructions! I gave some tips for best results!*

I promise that they’ll turn out much better if you DO NOT TRY TO SET THEM IN THE FRIDGE TO SPEED THINGS UP. They get too hard too quickly if you do that. I remember one time, when my husband and I were first married, I went to put a batch of rice crispy treats in the fridge and no joke, my husbands eyes got huge and he ran into the kitchen to stop me from ruining his treat! It was pretty funny how he reacted… It makes me laugh every time I think about how concerned he was over it.

Anyway, please make sure to share this post if you found it helpful or if it’s your new go-to recipe! Thanks ~Sarah

As long as you pack it down really well it should be perfect for that. Instead of buttering my hands I always throw a sheet of parchment paper on top of them, after spreading them out in the pan, and rub all around and press down to make them evenly flat. I suggest maybe doing that so that they aren’t buttery when trying to build your tower. I hope that made sense.
